CHEESY POTATO SOUP WITH BACON



Cheesy Potato Soup with Bacon image

Warm up with this rich and indulgent soup. Our Cheesy Potato Soup with Bacon feeds a crowd, freezes well, and it comes together in a single Dutch oven. Melted yellow Cheddar makes a great finishing touch. If you prefer to buy only one type of cheese, then add extra white Cheddar.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bunch scallions
1 (12-oz.) pkg. bacon, roughly chopped
3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1⁄4-inch pieces (7 to 8 cups)
2 cups chopped yellow onion (from 1 large onion)
3 tablespoons butter
3 small garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.

  • Ladle soup into bowls. Top servings with bacon, green scallion pieces, and yellow Cheddar.

I got this recipe from a friend of mine and have tweeked it up some. My kids beg me to make it when the weather starts to get chilly. It will warm you up from head to toe! Oh and by the way I don't measure so you need to use your judgment when making, I do everything by taste.

Categories     Cream Soups

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5-6 medium potatos diced
1 medium onion diced
5-6 celery stalks diced
1 stick butter
1 small container of sour cream
1/4 c instant potato flakes, dry
1 qt heavy whipping cream
1 pkg velveeta cheese cubed (1/2 of the brick)
salt, pepper, and garlic salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot put the diced potatos, onion and celery, and butter, add enough water to just barely cover everything. Bring to a boil until potatos are tender. Reduce heat to very low (DO NOT DRAIN WATER OFF), add heavy cream (can use milk instead) I will add a little bit of milk to this also depending on how much broth I want. Add just a pinch of salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste. Stir and add velveeta (Depending on my mood I have used the whole brick of cheese -- I get the big box of it) stir until melted, add sour cream and stir till it melts into the soup base. To thicken it up I add the potato flakes, I really don't measure, I add and stir until I get the thickness I want. Be sure to stir in between adding the potato flakes because it will thicken quick. Serve with garlic cheese bread or a salad! Enjoy!!!
